Top Gear

Is my deposit refundable?
Yes, the initial deposit is fully refundable up until 48 hours before the scheduled vehicle drop-off date. After that point, it is forfeited if the owner and/or vehicle is unable to move forward with the installation on the designated date.

When is the balance due?
The remaining balance is due upon project completion.

Will I have the right to opt out of the video/social media promotion?
These factors weigh heavily into our decision to offer Founders Status eligibility, and as such, we do not offer opting out. If you have specific concerns, please discuss these with your Vonnen representative and we will do our best to accommodate your vehicle.

Do I have to be there for the installation/participate in the installation?
No, this is entirely optional. Although we encourage a pre-arranged visit prior to completion, this is not a Founders requirement.

Do I have to be there for vehicle drop-off or pick-up? What if I’m remote?
No, although desirable, these are not program requirements. However, we need to be informed in advance if you won’t be on site with us and will need to make arrangements to film/photograph you in another setting at a later date.

Is my spot transferrable?
No, each spot is offered to a specific owner/vehicle and is therefor not transferrable.

I prefer to remain anonymous… will my license plate or other identifying information be shared in social media/promotion?
No, we will not display your license plate, VIN, or publish your address without your express permission.
